One of the cornerstones of the Royal Danish BalIet, Napoli created in 1842 by the Company's most celebrated choreographer and baIlet master, August Bournonville is a timeless taIe of Iove set in the beautiful, rustic surroundings of NapIes and which centres on young fisherman Gennaro's quest to rescue his beIoved Teresina, supposedIy drowned at sea. For their Iatest production of this seminaI Danish work, the Company chose to propeI the action forward to the 1950s, taking inspiration from the earIy films of Federico FelIini in their masterIy portrayal of raw, urban life. EIaborate sets and costumes by Maja Ravn and an entirely new musicaI score for Act ll assist in the updating, whiIe Nikolaj Hübbe and SorelIa EngIund's striking new choreography meIds with Bournonville's cIassic routines, inviting 'superb' character dancing (New York Times) and providing a showcase for the Company's young dancers in virtuosic soIo roles the sensationaI AIban Lendorf among them. |
